As you may have guessed I have not had a lot of time for stitching etc since the birth of the twins in January

However things have settled down a little now and I have finally finished the Afghans and samplers for the babies.

Hope you like them..

This is Casie's sampler.
This one is Emma's

And here are the samplers. This is Casie's

and here is Emma's

As you can see they are both alike apart from the names. I have also put some pictures in The Other Crafts section of the shawls and jackets I have made them.

Oh my God you've done such a great job!
I could never stitch two identical samplers, so I admire your patience and commitment. Congratulations!

These are lovely, it's difficult finding time to do 1 of each but having to do 2 you have done really well

Aw, how fabulous!! So much work!!

I'd have loved something like those quilts for my two. They will be treasured forever, I'm sure.
I espcially like Casie Lynne's nursery rhyme sampler. May I ask what designer it is/ where it came from?

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments, I enjoyed working on these.
Slinkey... the design is from an old book belonging to a friend of mine called Nursery needlepoint by Fiona McTague.
